Canvas

Canvas is a Learning Management System

To add a Canvas service you need to upload the XML file to the Cloudwork dashboard

To get the XML file:

Metadata is at https://<<schoolcode>>.instructure.com/saml_meta_data and the certificate needs to be entered in as a fingerprint

Then some work needs to be done in Canvas before uploading the XML file to the dashboard.

Go to Admin -> Authentication On the dropdown on the right choose SAML. The settings are shown below

The definitions for both Entity ID and Sign On Endpoint can be found in Identity Provider Details

• Both the IdP Metadata URL and the IdP Entity ID is the Entity ID for the metadata
• The Log On URL is the Sign On Endpoint

Then you can test the login before by going to https://<<schoolcode>>.instructure.com/login/saml Once you are ready to go just change the position to 1 and it will become the default authentication

Uploading the XML file

Once you have the XML file go to the Cloudwork Dashboard -> Features -> Single Sign -> Add New Service -> Upload an XML file.

This will lead to a page that looks like this:

• Name - A friendly name to identify the service e.g. Canvas
• Upload - Here is where you upload the XML file for Canvas
